OT: Black Smoke W123 wagon pala yung nasa avatar mo.

Yes, nice eh?

[vinj]

Taxi driver here ... Vios gets my vote!

If you want prestige, class, luxury, notch above the rest, individuality, ek-ek, etc. ....

Don't get a Honda!

Get a BENZ!

Like!

Too bad my W123 coupe plans never panned out ;) But hey, i put my money into better use.

OT:

Primo, family priorities first and foremost.

Yang chedeng, bisyo lang yan! ..

[lowslowbenz]

BTT:

An example of a classic square head response.

Ewan ko sa kotseng yan... lumang luma na pero nakaka-akit pa rin. But hey good thing i didn't go with it as a good investment seems to be coming up...

The 1.3L engines such as the Vios or the City in m/t guise are really prone to "namamatayan" if you're used to larger displacement gas and diesel engines which require little gas pedal input when you release the clutch.

Ang pinagpipilian ay 2 models lamang, ie, T Vios and H city. So since ang dalawa halos tabla sa power, or lack of it, comfort level, so icon consider ang ibang factors, that's why more prestige or mas class tingnan ang binabanggit. Hindi sinasabi na classy car ang City, kundi, mas may class ang City Kung I compare sa Vios.

OT: Hindi Lang Benz ang classy car marami pa, yun lang ba alam niyo?

[lowslowbenz]

OT:

ano naman ang alam mo?

[joemarski]

buti pa kayo, ang dami niyong alam tungkol sa mga "classy car".
samantalang ako hindi ko nga alam 'yang "W123 coupe" na 'yan.
di pa nga ako nakasakay ng "coupe"... sarap siguro...
hinihintay ko lang kung ano ang pipiliin ni TS between his choices.
ang hirap yatang mamili between the two.

Paano nagkaroon ng kaso na merong mas classy sa dalawa?

- parehong subcompact
- parehong small engines with variable valve timing
- parehong price range
- parehong nagkalat sa daan
- parehong common consumer brand (hindi exotic kumbaga)


Ang nakikita ko lang na pagkakaiba nila eh sa Asian market lang yata yung City samantalang yung Vios/Yaris ay global ang market which should not really matter kasi nga nasa Pilipinas yung bumibili and pareho silang readily available both in the brand new and second hand marketplace.

"Prestige"

Di na mawawala sa typical pinoy mindset yan. Funny because in other countries, Honda is a typical Japanese brand, dito napakaspecial ng Honda.

[lowslowbenz]

^
BMW yan!

[A121]

Will get the 1.5 City E because of the ULT seats. hehe

Marketing tawag dyan! Kapag di ginawang taxi, may prestige na.

[bayen]

May ULT seats din pala ang City. All the while i thought sa Jazz lang sya.

[A121]

ung 1.5E lang ata. pero, mas gusto ko jazz dahil sa tailgate! ;)

Sa ibang bansa naman din taxi ang benz at bmw. Bottomline: depende sa market.

"classy" is subjective, though IMO good indicator if public utility vehicle ang sasakyan or not. obvious example, whoever thought na "classy" ang AUVs like adventure, revo and crosswind?

also, do compare also base variants, spare parts price and availability. sama nyo na rin casa labor fees. certainly, honda isn't known to be pocket-friendly.

[Egan101]

If you're spending such money for a TOTL sub-sompact, you might as well add a bit more and get a mid-level variant for a compact. There's another thread comparing the City 1.5E against compacts that fall within its price range.

Depende talaga sa market, since sa Pilipinas ang setting prestige ang Honda City compared to Toyota Vios. Sa Singapore maraming taxi na Mercedez, Hyundai Sonata, etc. Kaya rin City pinili ko dahil hindi ko talaga magustuhan itsura ng Vios sa harap.

Belta grille lang sir ang sagot sa problema mo

Yun pa isa bakit hindi ko magustuhan ang Vios. Kailangan mo pa gumastos para umangas ng kaunti ang itsura. Hindi ko gusto yung edge patulis papunta sa nose (Toyota logo), kung tama ang term ko.
